Hi,

I suspect it's neither related to systemd, nor caused by a backend used
by xflock4, that logs you out. My guess is, that power management for
the display is broken.

There is no such issue when I use xfce4-power-manager for my openbox
(not Xfce4) session on Arch Linux, but it seems to be the cause for
this or a similar problem, when using a Xubuntu 18.10 live DVD. 

Try running

  xfce4-power-manager-settings

select the "Display"-tab. First of all turn on "Display power
management", if it should be turned off, after that set all values from
"minutes" to "never" and then turn off "Display power management".

Regards,
Ralf
